Nope, get the biggest one you can stuff on your tank.

My answer from your other thread with the same question.

Yes and no.

Yes in the sense that skimmer (( for example )), a skimmer can be oversized for a certain sized tank and not perform efficiently. In addition, the water can be "too clean" for certain soft corals and/or macro algae.

However, those are extreme examples, and in most cases the answer would be no.

Example, a skimmer with a 10' body would be too big for a 55 gallon tank, but the odds of that happening are slim to none.
